‘Convalescence’ at Philly’s Jefferson Hospital is an immersion into health care inequities https://t.co/Qxe835j5WV

[Wagner Foundation @WagnerFound]

We've just returned from Philly and experienced ‘Convalescence’ - the incredible work of artist Pepón Osorio - a vivid example of how art can catalyze important conversations about health equity and the role human-centered institutions can play in transforming health systems.

[Community Health Impact Coalition @join_chic]

This year we have the largest cohort of CHW Advocates at #UNGA79 ever. Ramatu Jalloh reminds us of why this is important because CHWs should be in the room, every time community health is discussed!

@YearUpUnited @gradsoflife “We are divided by opportunity. There are those who have it and those who do not. But we believe in a world where opportunity belongs to everyone.” A message we wholeheartedly agree with! Congrats @yearupunited on this next chapter, we are proud to support your important work.

[Year Up United @YearUpUnited]

Allow us to reintroduce ourselves! Today, we officially become Year Up United. Together, with @GradsofLife and YUPRO Placement, we're committed to ending the Opportunity Divide for good.

Health Equity means every birthing person should have access to safe childbirth, yet that is not the case. In MA, life threatening & fatal complications associated with labor & delivery have increased, w/ Black women experiencing the highest mortality rates.
